Rest in Peace brother!

It is definitely ridiculous. The best is when you have 20 year old kids who are frequent fliers....I mean really? Man up and tolerate it or learn MODERATION!

My SUNY school has the same efficient system. Minus the fly car. The members are very dedicated. Its a good thing. Even a drunk needs a friendly and dedicated person to care after them.

I too was a member of a small ems agency at a small college in upstate NY. My time was brief due to dedicating my time to my two majors, one minor, and being a mutual aid member with the fire department in town. The EMS agency on my campus is composed of Trainees and EMT's. They provide first response EMS 24/7 while school is in sessions. They also provide crews for all sports or physical activity fund raisers (ie: relay for life) on campus. There are set night crews, each of which has a Crew Chief EMT, another 1 or 2 EMT's, and a Trainee. The Crew Chief has acces to jump bags for his/her shift. The other members of the crew all sign out a different piece of equipment (splints, backboard, etc). There are various locations on campus where there are BLS jump bags and backboards stored for the agencies use. This is just a response agency, there are no fly cars, ambulances, and no green lights are issued. People who have green lights from being active in other agencies are allowed to us them (I always did at least). Transports are done by the towns Rescue Squad which has ALS and BLS members. The campus agency does not bill, but the town agency does. All members trainees are given a pager but can sign out a portable for their duty night. All EMT's are given portables. All calls are responded to on foot or in a car if you have one. The town agency is very welcoming of the school agency. They allow the school members to ride with them if they are in an EMT class. They will also let members ride to the hospital from calls on campus. I do not remember exactly how it worked but I believe we had one meeting on the first Sunday of the month and then training two Sundays later. I understand your frustrations with the membership but it is important to remember that collegiate EMS agencies get all different types of people to join. Not everyone will work. It is important to keep on having recruitment booths around campus. Eventually you will get some quality members to join. I personally understand where some of your members resistance and lack of participation comes from. It seems to me that it is a big commitment in terms of meetings, training etc to just provide crews for standby"s and first response ems for 36 hours a week.

White, black, green, purple, drunk, fat, stupid, yellow, tall, covered in feces... what ever you are, it does not matter. You try and hit a Police Officer with a vehicle, you are a threat to lives and you will be neutralized.

Thank you sir.

I saw the same photo that you are referring to (I assume it was the same photo). It sure did appear to only be about an inch or so two high. Still, big glitch in the planning. C'mon guys! On a side note, the new Engine looks beautiful. Best of luck with the new rig!

I guess I reached my Rep quote for the day, but... +1 Rep

I am not sure if any of these are hiring but, some names that people will throw out are: TransCare; Westchester EMS; Ossining VAC; Empress EMS; Of course there are others. Good luck!

Looks like they are "Rumbler" speaker covers. I would love to see how it feels to be laying on a backboard or stretcher when these are "rumbling" away. Might feel like a nice in bus massage.

I'd rep this 1000 times if I could. WELL DONE!

I could not agree more with Gaw6. The family of DJ Henry needs to at least make an attempt to see the "what could have happened" side. It is no secret that Aaron is a hero. It also is not a mystery of why he is a hero and an outstanding Police Officer. Aaron did everything he was trained to do to the highest level possible. It is a shame that this tragedy occurred but, but further tragedy was undoubtedly avoided thanks to Aaron. My thought and prayers are still with Aaron, his wife, and two kids. My hopes for full and speedy recovery. As Gaw6 stated, I also miss working with Aaron.
